[Operation of information processing system 1]
Next, the operation of the information processing system 1 in a business that involves the exchange of documents will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 11. FIG. Here, as in FIG. 1, an example will be described in which a target document sent by a requester is reviewed by workers A and B and approved by worker C. FIG.
FIG. 8 is a sequence chart showing an example of the operation procedure of the information processing system 1. As shown in FIG.
9A and 9B are diagrams for explaining the acceptance of the specified toolbar 70 from the requester. FIG. 9A shows the start of acceptance of the specified toolbar 70, and FIG. 9B shows the selection of tools to be added to the specified toolbar 70. , and are display examples of the operation screen 150. FIG.
FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining how attribute values are assigned to tools.
11A and 11B are diagrams for explaining the addition of text to the tool icon 70f. FIG. 11A is a display example of the operation screen 150 when the client adds text, and FIG. 11B is a popup image on the work screen 250. 700f is a diagram showing a display example.

At step 801, the operation determination unit 112 of the client terminal 10 determines that an operation to store the document A, which is the target document, has been performed on the "waiting for review" tray icon 50a. As described with reference to FIG. 5B, in the present embodiment, the operation determination unit 112 detects the operation of dragging and dropping the document icon 40a onto the tray icon 50a as the operation of storing the document A. accept as More specifically, by this operation, the communication processing unit 311 transmits the document A to the server device 30, and the storage location designating unit 115 designates the review pending folder 321 as the storage location of the document A. FIG.
The document management unit 312 of the server device 30 stores the received document A in the review pending folder 321, which is the designated storage location (step 802).

Next, at step 803, the toolbar reception unit 116 receives the specified toolbar 70 for instructing the processing related to the operation on the document A, which is the target document. More specifically, the setting of the designated toolbar 70 to the review waiting folder 321 in which the document A is stored is accepted.
As shown in FIG. 9A, in the present embodiment, when accepting the specified toolbar 70, the requester displays the operation menu 51 and performs settings. This operation menu 51 is an instruction section for receiving an instruction from a client regarding what kind of setting to perform when accepting the designation toolbar 70 .

The operation menu 51 includes, for example, "add tool" for adding a new tool icon, "edit tool" for editing an already added tool icon, and "edit tool" for deleting a tool icon. ``Change tool order'' to rearrange the display order of tool icons; Instructions such as "set standard toolbar" to set and "detailed setting" to set other aspects of the specified toolbar 70 are accepted.

For example, when the requester instructs "add tool", a tool addition menu 71 is displayed as shown in FIG. 9B. The tool addition menu 71 includes an input field 711 for entering a search term for searching for tools, a search execution button 712 for instructing execution of the search, and a tool list 713 showing tool candidates as a list. . For example, when the requester enters "point out" in the input field 711 and presses the search execution button 712, a tool list 713 is displayed as tool candidates that are highly likely to be used when pointing out something to the target document. Then, when the requester selects a tool from the tool list 713 , a tool icon corresponding to that tool is added to the specified tool bar 70 .
Also, when adding a tool that uses some attribute value for processing, the specification of the attribute value is accepted. This attribute value is used to determine detailed aspects of processing such as the color or typeface of text to be inserted, the type of image to be pasted, and the color and shape of a figure to be drawn. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, when a tool icon 70a for instructing marker processing is added, a palette 72 for designating the color, thickness, etc. of the marker line 700a (see FIG. 6B) is displayed.
In this way, the toolbar reception unit 116 receives the designated toolbar 70 having tool icons corresponding to the processes (tools) designated by the requester. This makes it easier for the worker to grasp the processing intended by the requester, compared to the case where the requester's designation regarding the processing related to the work is not accepted.

Further, for example, when "edit tools" is instructed, tool icons already added to the specified toolbar 70 can be edited. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, specifying the tool icon 70f and then instructing "edit tool" displays an explanation menu 74 for adding information to the tool icon 70f. The description menu 74 includes an input field 741 for inputting information related to the tool icon 70f, and an OK button 742a and a Cancel button 742b for instructing whether or not to give the input description. For example, the requester enters a description of the process to be executed when the tool icon 70f is specified in the input field 741, and presses the OK button 742a. The given explanation is displayed as a popup image 700f when the mouse is moved over the tool icon 70f on the work screen 250, as shown in FIG. 11B.
As described above, the toolbar accepting unit 116 according to the present embodiment accepts a setting for displaying the information given by the client in association with the specified toolbar 70 on the work screen 250 . This makes it easier for the worker to grasp the processing intended by the requester, compared to the case where the information given by the requester is not displayed.

Returning to FIG. 8 , at step 804 , the communication processing section 113 transmits the specified toolbar 70 accepted by the toolbar accepting section 116 to the server device 30 .
The toolbar management unit 313 of the server device 30 associates the designated toolbar 70 with the waiting-for-review folder 321 by attaching the reception information, and stores the designated toolbar 70 (step 805).

Next, workers A and B, who review the target document, receive a request from the client and perform an operation to specify document A, which is the target document, at the worker terminals 20a and 20b (step 806). A transmission of document A is requested to the server device 30 . Workers A and B accept a request by, for example, an e-mail or verbal communication from a requester. Further, for example, the request is accepted when the document A is stored in the folder 321 waiting for review.
At step 807, the document management unit 312 of the server device 30 retrieves the document A from the review waiting folder 321 in accordance with the received request. Then, the communication processing unit 311 transmits the extracted document A to the worker terminals 20a and 20b.

The storage location identification unit 214 of the worker terminal 20a, 20b identifies the storage location of the document A as the review waiting folder 321 based on the storage location information given to the document A (step 808). Then, the toolbar acquisition unit 215 requests the specified toolbar 70 set in the review waiting folder 321 from the server device 30 (step 809).
At step 810, toolbar management unit 313 of server device 30 transmits designated toolbar 70 in response to the received request.

Upon receiving the designated toolbar 70, the display control unit 211 of the worker terminal 20a, 20b displays the designated toolbar 70 in association with the document A as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B (step 811). .
When reviewing the document A, the workers A and B use the displayed designation tool bar 70 to instruct the processing related to the review. At this time, the document processing unit 216 executes review processing for the document A in accordance with this instruction (step 812).
As described above, in this embodiment, the worker performs the work using the specified toolbar 70 received from the requester. The labor of selecting and executing a process (tool) is reduced.

At step 813, the operator terminals 20a and 20b accept that a predetermined completion condition regarding the specified toolbar 70 is established as an instruction for completion processing. Details of this completion process will be described later with reference to FIG. 12 .
Then, based on this instruction, the worker terminals 20a and 20b execute completion processing. In this example, as the completion process, the target document, document A, is stored in the reviewed folder 322 (step 814). More specifically, after the storage location specifying unit 217 specifies the reviewed folder 322 as the storage location, the communication processing unit 113 transmits the document A to the server device 30 .

The server device 30 stores the received document A in the reviewed folder 322 based on the instructions from the worker terminals 20a and 20b (step 815).
As described above, the review work for the document A, which is the target document, is completed, and the approval process is started. It should be noted that, with respect to the approval work to be described later, detailed description may be omitted for portions that are the same as the review work.

The requester obtains the target document (document A) stored in the reviewed folder 322, corrects it based on the reviews from workers A and B, and stores it in the approval waiting tray 50c (step 816). This storage processing is the same as step 801 except that the storage location is different.
The document management unit 312 of the server device 30 stores the received document A in the approval waiting folder 323, which is the designated storage location (step 817).

Next, the toolbar reception unit 116 receives the specified toolbar 70 for the approval waiting folder 323 (step 818) and transmits it to the server device 30 (step 819). The specified toolbar 70 set in the approval waiting folder 323 is different from the specified toolbar 70 set in the review waiting folder 321 in step 803 as a toolbar for instructing a process suitable for approval work. good.
As described above, since the toolbar reception unit 116 according to the present embodiment receives the designated toolbar 70 for each of a plurality of storage locations, it is possible to change the storage location of the target document according to the work to be requested. can be changed to the specified toolbar 70 . Therefore, the client's labor is reduced when performing a plurality of operations on the target document.

Next, worker C, who approves the target document, receives a request from the requester and performs an operation to designate document A, which is the target document, at worker terminal 20c (step 820). request the transmission of document A.
At step 821, the server device 30 retrieves the document A from the approval waiting folder 323 according to the received request, and transmits it to the operator terminal 20c.

The storage location identification unit 214 of the operator terminal 20c identifies the storage location of the document A as the approval waiting folder 323 based on the storage location information given to the document A (step 822). Then, the toolbar acquisition unit 215 requests the specified toolbar 70 set in the approval waiting folder 323 from the server device 30 (step 823).
At step 824, toolbar management unit 313 of server device 30 transmits designated toolbar 70 in response to the received request.

Upon receiving the designated toolbar 70, the display control unit 211 of the operator terminal 20c associates the designated toolbar 70 with the document A and displays it (step 825).
When approving the document A, the operator C instructs the processing related to approval using the displayed designation tool bar 70 . In response to this instruction, the document processing unit 216 executes processing related to approval of the document A (step 826).

At step 827, the operator terminal 20c accepts that a predetermined completion condition regarding the specified toolbar 70 is met as an instruction for completion processing. Then, based on this instruction, the worker terminal 20c executes the completion process. In this example, as the completion process, the target document, document A, is stored in the approved folder 324 (step 828).
The server device 30 stores the received document A in the approved folder 322 based on the instruction from the worker terminal 20c (step 829).
As described above, the approval work for the document A, which is the target document, is completed, and the work with the document A as the target document is completed.

In the example of FIG. 8, the designated toolbar 70 is accepted from the requester after the target document is stored in the storage location, but the designated toolbar 70 may be accepted before storing the target document. At least, the specified toolbar 70 should be set before the worker terminal 20 requests the specified toolbar 70 (step 809).
Further, in the present embodiment, since the toolbar 70 for specifying the storage location is accepted, when requesting the same work for a plurality of target documents, store all the documents in the same storage location and specify the storage location. The toolbar 70 should be set. By accepting the specified toolbar 70 for the storage location in this way, when requesting work on a plurality of target documents, the burden on the requester is reduced compared to accepting the specified toolbar 70 for each target document. .

[Completion process]
Next, details of the completion process will be described with reference to FIG. 12 .
12A and 12B are diagrams for explaining the completion processing according to the present embodiment. FIG. 12A is a display example of the operation screen 150 when setting the completion processing on the requester terminal 10, and FIG. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display example of the work screen 250 when completion processing is executed in .

As described with reference to FIG. 8, in the present embodiment, when the work on the target document is completed, the completion condition set by the requester is satisfied based on the fact that the predetermined completion condition regarding the designated toolbar 70 is satisfied. Processing is performed. This predetermined completion condition is, for example, that the designation toolbar 70 instructs execution of the completion process.
As shown in FIG. 12A, when setting the designated toolbar 70, the requester operates the operation menu 51 to display a completion menu 73 for receiving settings related to completion processing. The completion menu 73 includes, for example, a "duplicate data and store in the following location" check box 731 for setting a process of storing a copy of the target document in a specified storage location as a completion process.

For example, if the requester wants a copy of the reviewed target document to be stored in the reviewed folder 322 , the requester enters the address of the reviewed folder 322 in the input field 732 and checks the check box 731 . In addition, as another completion process, if it is desired to delete the local data of the target document in the operator terminal 20, the “delete local data” check box 733 is also checked.
Also, for example, the operator inputs text to be displayed on the work screen 250 when the operator instructs execution of the completion process in the input field 734 .
Furthermore, for example, the user inputs in the input field 735 a notification destination to notify that the target document has been stored in the reviewed folder 322 .

As shown in FIG. 12B, the designation tool bar 70 of the work screen 250 displays a tool icon 70e for instructing execution of the completion process set by the requester. For example, worker A who is a reviewer performs an operation of designating this tool icon 70e when the review of the target document is completed. By this operation, the completion process set by the requester in FIG. 12A, that is, the process of duplicating the target document and storing it in the reviewed folder 322, and the text entered in the input field 734 are displayed as a pop-up image 700e. and a process of notifying the notification destination entered in the input field 735 that the target document has been stored in the reviewed folder 322 .

Note that the content of the completion condition is not limited to the specification of the tool icon 70e of the "completion tool" described above. For example, it may be determined that the completion condition is satisfied when all the tool icons provided in the designation toolbar 70 are designated and all the processes are executed.
Also, in the example of FIG. 12, the content of the completion process is to store a copy of the target document in the storage location specified by the requester, but the content is not limited to this. For example, the process of storing the original data of the target document in the storage location may be the completion process. Also, only the process of simply notifying the specified notification destination may be regarded as the completion process.
In this way, by performing the completion process set by the requester, it is possible to suppress handling unintended by the requester, compared to the case where the operator determines the handling of the target document after the work. . In addition, by storing the document in the storage location specified by the client as the completion process, it is possible to prevent the target document from being stored in the storage location not intended by the client.

[Modification]
Next, modified examples of the information processing system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15. FIG.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of acceptance of the designation toolbar 70. As shown in FIG.
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating the management table T1 when processing is performed using different attribute values for each worker.
15A and 15B are diagrams for explaining the acceptance of the designated toolbar 70 for the target document.

In the above-described embodiment, when the specified toolbar 70 is accepted on the client terminal 10, the operation menu 51 (see FIG. 9A) is displayed to accept the setting. may be accepted as the designated toolbar 70 . For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the default toolbar 60 may be accepted as the designated toolbar 70 by dragging and dropping the default toolbar 60 onto the tray icon 50a. Also, by dragging and dropping only some of the tool icons provided in the default toolbar 60 , only the tool icons may be included in the designated toolbar 70 .

Further, in order to suppress work not intended by the client, the operator terminal 20 may be configured to restrict execution of processing different from the processing specified by the client. As a specific example, processing instructions from other than the designated toolbar 70 may be restricted.
For example, in the present embodiment, both the default toolbar 60 and the specified toolbar 70 are displayed, so there is a possibility that the default toolbar 60 will be used to instruct processing, and work that the client does not intend will be performed. Therefore, when the designated toolbar 70 is displayed, the default toolbar 60 may be hidden. Alternatively, the processing instruction by the default toolbar 60 may not be accepted.

Further, when a plurality of workers work on the same target document, the configuration may be such that processing is performed using different attribute values for each worker.
As a specific example, when setting the specified toolbar 70 , the requester sets the template variable “@@@Annotation_Collor@@@” as the color used for the sticky note processing by the tool icon 70 b and transmits it to the server device 30 . When the designated toolbar 70 is requested from the worker terminal 20a, the server device 30 determines the color #xxxxxx of the sticky note processing based on the template variables, and transmits the designated toolbar 70 with this setting. Similarly, when the specified toolbar 70 is requested from the worker terminal 20b, the color #yyyyyy for sticky note processing is determined, and the specified toolbar 70 with this setting is sent. When the worker A performs work using the worker terminal 20a, by designating the tool icon 70b, a process of attaching a sticky note image 700b of #xxxxxx color to the target document is performed. Further, when the worker B performs work using the worker terminal 20b, by designating the tool icon 70b, a process of attaching a sticky note image 700b in #yyyyyy color is performed.

In this way, by assigning different attribute values to a plurality of workers and executing processing related to the work on the target document using these attribute values, when work is performed by a plurality of workers, , it becomes easier to distinguish the worker who performed the work compared to the case where the process is executed without using different attribute values for each worker.
Further, as shown in the management table T1 of FIG. 14, the server device 30 stores and manages identification information such as an IP address for identifying each worker terminal and determined attribute values. Then, from the next time onwards, when the operator terminals 20a, 20b, and 20c request the specified toolbar 70, the identification information and the management table T1 are referred to, and the sticky note is processed with the same attribute values as those initially determined. Send the specified toolbar 70 to be performed. By configuring in this way, even when a plurality of workers perform the work in a plurality of times, it becomes easy to distinguish between the workers who performed the work.

In addition, in the present embodiment described above, the designated toolbar 70 for the storage location is accepted, but it is also possible to accept the designated toolbar 70 for the target document. For example, as shown in FIG. 15, an operation menu 51 may be displayed by an operation for designating document A, which is a target document, and a toolbar 70 for designating document A may be accepted. In this mode, when the document A is sent, the designated toolbar 70 is transmitted in association with it, and the designated toolbar 70 is displayed on the client terminal 10 . By configuring in this way, it becomes easy to set an individual designated toolbar 70 for each document. Moreover, since a storage location for setting the designated toolbar 70 is not required, setting of the designated toolbar 70 is facilitated even when the target document is transmitted by e-mail or peer-to-peer.
Furthermore, in a mode in which the specified toolbar 70 for the target document is accepted and the target document is transmitted by storing it in the storage location, it is preferable to accept the specified toolbar 70 after the target document is stored. In a business involving the exchange of documents, the person who sends the target document may be different from the person requesting the work. It is inconvenient that the terminal that performs the processing and the terminal that accepts the specified toolbar 70 must be the same. As described above, by accepting the specified toolbar 70 after storing the target document, the process of storing the target document and the process of accepting the specified toolbar 70 can be performed by different devices.

The processing performed by the client terminal 10, the processing performed by the worker terminal 20, and the processing performed by the server device 30 according to the present embodiment are each prepared as a program such as application software. These programs can be provided not only by communication means but also by being stored in a recording medium such as a CD-ROM.
